CHAPTER 51

CHAPTER 51A SHADOW FROM THE PASTAdrian sat frozen.His hands trembled slightly as he tapped open the email notification from Christine. His heart stopped as his eyes scanned the bold text at the top of the page:“Revised DNA Analysis & Genetic Profile.”He felt the world begin tilting around his head. A second glance at the bold title brought him almost to the verge of tears. He scrolled to the last page, where his gaze stopped at the doctor’s final comment:“Based on the DNA analysis performed, the results show that there is no biological paternity match between the two individuals.”He leaned his elbows on the table and lowered his head, clamping his hands over it.‘Could this—’‘How true could this be? But he has my type of eyes. Even without a test, a lot of features about this little boy are obvious; he’s my son.’ Different thoughts ran helter-skelter through his mind.‘Could it be that this is another manipulation from my father to erase their memories from my head? But Doct

CHAPTER 52THE NEW CHAPTER FOR FLORADan tore his gaze away from the window and ran to his mother in the dressing room. “Mummy, is that the man taking us out? I saw someone standing outside in the rain!”A soft smile flushed Flora's face. She wiped her hands on a towel and walked toward the front door. For five whole years, she couldn't remember feeling like this—a man waiting out in the rain for her, holding a clean umbrella just to keep her dry.Dan rushed to the full-length mirror in their bedroom to take one last look at his outfit. “Hmm. I still look handsome, just like Mr. Adrian.”He turned on his heel and hurried out to join his mother on the veranda.Alex couldn't take his eyes off Flora as she stepped out, holding hands with her handsome little boy. Her fitted red gown hugged her curves, the subtle slit at the front adding a touch of elegance to her shiny skin.“You look stunning,” Alex complimented, a gentle smile breaking across his face as he offered her his hand. He car

CHAPTER 53

CHAPTER 53CHRISTINE’S CONFESSION The car had been parked in the Smith's Corporation parking lot for nearly twenty minutes, but Adrian sat still, making no move to get out.The driver had stepped out to open the door the moment they pulled in, but Adrian had calmly gestured for him to close it.Twenty minutes passed. The driver glanced back through the rearview mirror, his brows furrowed as he watched Adrian sit motionless, he wasn't checking his phone, nor reviewing any documents. His mind seemed to be miles away.‘Did the doctor give him bad news? Is he terminally ill?Is he dying?’ A lot of harsh questions raced through the driver’s mind.Ever since they left the hospital, the absolute firmness in the voice of doctor John kept lingering in his mind. “You can try other hospitals if you wish, but I am telling you the truth, your DNA and that boy’s do not match.”“Sir,” the driver called softly, turning around in his seat. “You mentioned earlier that I’d be driving you to the M&M

CHAPTER 54

CHAPTER 54THE MAN FLORA LEAST EXPECTED TO MEET.Before Adrian's hands could reach the door knob, it suddenly clicked open."Adrian, Christine." The heavy, authoritative voice of Mr. Smith echoed through the office, his eyes darting between the two of them. He stepped in fully and closed the door behind him."What is the meaning of all this commotion?" he demanded, narrowing his gaze on Adrian."Why raise your voice for a woman, Adrian? I don't think there was ever a time I raised you to be hostile towards a woman! Or is this how the CEO of Smith's Corporation conducts himself around staff now?" He struck his walking stick on the floor angrily.He couldn't keep his eyes on Christine for long. The moment he entered, he had sighted the cold drop of tears rolling down her cheeks.Seeing a woman in tears is one thing the old man hates a lot.Adrian clenched his fist and swallowed painfully. He lowered his head and blinked, then raised his eyes to Christine, before shifting his gaze to his

CHAPTER 55

CHAPTER 55FLORA TOOK A STEP AHEAD OF ADRIAN.Flora squeezed her shut to dismiss the sudden wave of anger and frustration boiling down her heart before Adrian could make a single statement.An overwhelming urge to stand up, announce her resignation, and walk out surged through her mind, but when she thought of the years of hardship she had faced because of that man, she swallowed painfully and kept her emotions under control.Adrian cleared his throat a few minutes after going through the document in front of him. He stood up, his eyes sweeping across the different faces seated around the table."Good morning, everyone." His deep voice vibrated throughout the conference room.Everyone gestured with faint smiles in response.Flora made sure she kept her eyes away from meeting his, but he seemed to have noticed her the moment he walked in."I'll keep this brief," he said, his expression masked with seriousness.The staff ears perked up, anxiously awaiting his next statement."I want to

CHAPTER 56

CHAPTER 56IS ADRIAN BACK IN HER LIFE FOR GOOD?Flora stood frozen. The words spoken by Adrian sunk deeper than they should, not because they were harsh, but because they were unexpected."Flora, please. You need to reconsider your decision. You've always been a hard-working woman. This is the opportunity to be that woman you've always wanted to become." Alex suggested, his calm voice laced with genuine concern.Flora narrowed her gaze at him, then shifted it to Adrian, then back to Alex again."I'm striving to be a successful woman, Alex. But accepting an offer from this man right here is the last thing I'll ever do.""Now, if you'll excuse me—" she said, her voice firm and resolute, slightly pushing Adrian with her hands to pave a way for her to pass.“I'd love to take my leave.”"Then be ready to stay unemployed for as long as you want, Flora." Adrian's threatening voice vibrated.The words forced Flora to stop. She turned, her brows knitted in a frown."You don't own my destiny."

CHAPTER 57

CHAPTER 57FINALLY RELOCATING TO NEW YORK Suddenly, Adrian's phone rang."Mr. Adrian,” a slender voice echoed from the other end of the phone.“Mr. Crawford pleaded that the appointment be shifted to 9:00 am tomorrow. Can you make it before then, or should I—""Tell him it's okay with me. We'll see tomorrow." Adrian interrupted before the person on the other end could finish speaking.Before returning the phone to his pocket, he scrolled down his contacts and stopped at a number to place a call."Book an evening flight for three persons," he instructed.Wait– flight for three persons? Hope it's not what I'm thinking? Flora thought to herself."Back to what we were saying." Adrian scoffed, clearing his throat after dropping the call.Without waiting for his next word, Flora tossed her hand into her fancy bag and took out a small piece of paper and passed it to the driver."That's my address. Once you drop me and my son there, you two can continue your tour." She said."Mummy…" the lit

CHAPTER 58

CHAPTER 58A NIGHT IN ADRIAN'S HOUSEThe moment the flight landed in New York, a wave of nostalgia mixed with deep hatred swept over Flora's mind.She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them to the sky, hoping the calm weather would wash away the memories flooding her head. It didn't.This was the city where she'd had her sweetest years growing up, and the same city where Richard betrayed her, where her best friend and his family humiliated her, where she was cast out like trash.Adrian and Dan were busy helping the chauffeur load their luggage into the car."You've been quiet since we landed," Adrian’s voice suddenly echoed, jolting her out of her thoughts."Just admiring the view," she lied, forcing a faint smile across her lips. "A lot has changed within a few months of my absence." She added."Dan?”“Where’s my son?she asked the moment she realised the boy was no longer beside her."Yes, Mummy!" the little boy answered from a nearby distance, running toward her.Her eyes w

CHAPTER 59

CHAPTER 59WE CAN'T SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM"No," Flora said flatly, picking the little boy up and setting him down on the large sofa."Adrian is not sleeping here. He can go and find another room. This house is big enough." She added, her voice barely above a whisper but firm. She covered him up gently with the duvet and planted a soft kiss on his forehead, then she turned, only to see Adrian leaning against the doorframe, arms folded and a lazy smile on his lips.Her eyes darkened immediately. "I…I thought you'd left already–to your room." She stuttered.Adrian shrugged with a cold smile on the corners of his lips."To my room, you said?” He raised his brows.“This is my room, woman. My bed, and my house. If anyone should be looking for another room, it's you, and not me.""Excuse me?" Flora raised her brows, almost agitated."You heard me." He took some steps closer, unbothered by her dangerous glare. "I don't run from my own bedroom because a guest decides she doesn't like my compa

CHAPTER 60

CHAPTER 60A NIGHT OF ARGUMENTAdrian blinked and shook his head.To avoid trouble, he turned and began walking towards the door. Even without being told, he could still feel her sharp eyes boring into his back.The moment he reached the door, he turned. Flora quickly looked away to avoid their eyes from meeting."Five minutes. That's all I'm giving you to dress up. Once you're done, open the door and call me in. I'll be waiting in the corridor." He sneered and shut the door behind him without waiting for her response.He kept his eyes fixed on his phone while he waited. Nine minutes passed, and he didn't hear any sound of the door opening.Still, fifteen minutes passed with no call. He took a deep breath and stood up abruptly from the chair. He impatiently pushed the door open without a knock."Why didn't—" He stopped midway. His mouth went dry as his eyes landed on the figure standing before him. Flora was almost naked, with only a short towel barely tied at her waist. Her chest w
